6 Sigma Technology Group Announces
Strategic Alliance With hyperNOC

Leading application development and professional services firm will begin delivering application and data Web services using leading edge technology

Reston, VA, August 15, 2002 – 6 Sigma Technology Group, today announced a strategic alliance with hyperNOC, a cutting edge provider of Internet infrastructure based application integration and Web services. This alliance enables Six Sigma to build portals, supply chain, and B2B applications that use data from anywhere and integrate applications in a loosely coupled manner.

hyperNOC's technology will be used by 6 Sigma Technology Group to enable client's application integration with internal and external applications, to obtain and correlate data from various sources, and to provide information from Web, SNMP devices, and other sources to applications and portals in real time. hyperNOC's services are delivered through a powerful infrastructure making the untapped potential of peer-to-peer a reality in e-business.

"hyperNOC allows us to deliver loosely coupled application integration, and a wealth of other distributed data enabling services. Technology such as this is the new wave of very powerful middleware services." Said Greg Sieber, President of 6 Sigma Technology Group "For years, we have been talking about integrating applications both internally and externally. To date, the small amount of integration that has taken place is through tightly coupling technologies at great expense. We know from the experiences of the past that tight coupling leads to a less than optimal supply chain. Loose coupling is now a reality."
